PETER RAY BLOOD
Days after the launch of a book
commemorating his work, veteran
masman Stephen Lee Heung, 93,
died on Monday night from pneu-
monia at St Clair Medical Centre.
The book, We Kind ah People, by
American judge and Carnival
researcher Ray Funk and local pho-
tographer George Tang, was launched
on October 7 at the National Library,
Port-of-Spain.
Yesterday Lee Heung s son, Shane,
said: "Dad died of a chest infection.
Mucus had developed in his lungs
and he was having problems breath-
ing properly.
"Dad suffered a stroke in 1997 but
was mobile afterwards with the aid
of crutches and a cane.
"After a while he simply gave up
and stopped going out. The last time
he went out was to attend Dimanche
Gras in 2012."
Peter Minshall designed Lee
Heung s 1976 Band of the Year win-
ner, Paradise Lost, the first band
Minshall had designed.
Yesterday he said: "There are
bandleaders and then there are band-
leaders. The current crop is blatantly
into making money on the work that
they had learnt from the likes of
Stephen Lee Heung, who never ever
lost the love of making mas. We have
lost one of the great producers of
classic Caribbean art."
Five-time Band of the Year winner
Edmond Hart, now 91, said: "I am
taken aback by Stephen s death. We
were very friendly and were in the
same Lions club.
"When I first produced mas,
Stephen played one year with me.
He and his wife, Elsie, and my wife,
Lil, and I were regarded as the couples
of mas. We worked together abroad
on a number of occasions," he added.
Hart s son, Luis, now leader of
Harts International, added: "Stephen
and Elsie were responsible for giving
many of the big designers their first
break in mas. He did so much for
T&T Carnival and was a true pioneer.
"Many of the people who began
by collaborating with Stephen ended
up being some of the greatest con-
tributors to mas in terms of visual
excellence. My parents and the Lee Heungs
were Carnival s mas couples.
"They were close as they were couples
dealing in mas, closer than the others,
like George Bailey and Harold Saldenha."
The late Wayne Berkeley also designed
some of Lee Heung s winning bands and
his producer Earl Patterson said:
"Stephen was one of the best band-
leaders of all time. The type of person he
was... he had a welcoming heart to every-
one.
"The first time we were really close
was when we travelled to Dallas, Texas,
with Wayne Berkeley s band. We sat for
hours during the day, playing rummy and
bonding.
"On our return to Trinidad we con-
tinued playing rummy at Stephen s home
on Alberto Street. I remember that he
loved a fried breadfruit very much.
"I want to express my deepest condo-
lences to Shane and the family."
D Midas Associates leader/designer
Stephen Dereck said: "Another one from
the glory days has passed.
"Artistes like us cannot forget the cre-
ations he gave us. Stephen was one of the
founders of the bandleaders association
and he was also one of the first people
to tour abroad with our mas, going to
Montreal for Expo 67."
Shane Lee Heung said funeral arrange-
ments would be announced later this
week, with the funeral tentatively sched-
uled for next week.
